Connectivity patterns of the core resting-state networks associated with apathy in late-life depression
CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that apathy in LLD is consistently associated with changes in both intra-RSN and inter-RSN connectivity of brain regions implicated in goal-oriented behaviours. These results corroborate previous findings of altered functional RSN connectivity in severe LLD.PMID:37914222 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230008 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)

Beyond verbal fluency in the verbal fluency task: semantic clustering as a predictor of remission in individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis
CONCLUSION: A verbal fluency task measure that more specifically represents semantic processing may be a better neurocognitive predictive marker for remission in CHR individuals than conventional verbal fluency measures. Our results provide an explanation for heterogeneous reports on whether verbal fluency can predict prognosis in CHR individuals and suggest that semantic processing is a putative cognitive predictor of their prognosis.PMID:37914223 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230074 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)

Should perception of emotions be classified according to threat detection rather than emotional valence? An updated meta-analysis for a whole-brain atlas of emotional faces processing
CONCLUSION: Processing of emotional faces appeared to be oriented toward identifying threats on faces, from highest (i.e., angry or fearful faces) to lowest level (i.e., happy or sad faces), with a more complex lateralization pattern than previously theorized. Emotional faces may be processed in latent grouping but organized by threat content rather than emotional valence.PMID:37857413 | PMC:PMC10599659 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230065 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)

Correlation of the methylomic signature of smoking during pregnancy with clinical traits in ADHD
CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence for the association between the level of methylation at specific loci and quantitative dimensions highly relevant for ADHD as well as birth weight, a measure that has already been associated with increased risk for ADHD. Our results provide further support to public health educational initiatives to stop maternal smoking during pregnancy.PMID:37857414 | PMC:PMC10599658 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230062 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)
